Bike Your Park Day Sept 24th
The last Saturday in September is Bike Your Park Day, an international event where thousands of cyclists ride in or to a park or public lands. This year Saint Peter Lutheran Church is organizing a family-friendly ride in Cherry Creek State Park on Saturday, September 24th. We will meet in the church parking lot at 9:00 a.m., ride to the park and enjoy a leisurely ride around the reservoir, enjoy a picnic lunch together, and return to the parking lot by early afternoon.
People to meet the riders with supplies for a picnic lunch are also welcome if you want to join the fun but don’t want to ride.
Please sign up on the iPad in the Narthex and invite family and friends to join the ride. The Saint Peter ride is also registered on the Adventure Cycling Association website (www.adventurecycling.org/) where you are welcome to register your participation and receive information about other cycling events.

Following Worship, Ms. Mary will set up shop in the Narthex to show you how to get started. Bring your plastic bags to church with you! It takes 600-700 bags to make a full-sized mat. We need as many donated bags as you can muster.
